Some people I work with

I'm not anti-vaccinne at all and have gotten and plan to get my young daughter all the recommended vaccines from her doctor. But if there's any good thing that can come with RFK being in a health role, it's the calling out of the poisons in our food. I used to think people who were anti-GMO were crazy, but I started looking into it a little more and there's just too many things for it just to be a coincidence. For example, I wasn't alive in the 70's (was born in the 80s), but when I look at photos or videos of people from the 1970's and before that, one thing you notice is that seeing overweight people is extremely rare. Or at least severely overweight, as in more than 20 pounds overweight. Almost everyone I have seen from that era and before was super thin. And I don't buy that there was no lazy people in the 70s, or that they all ate healthy home cooked meals every day, and they all worked out regularly at the gym. That's gotta be bs, because in most other ways they weren't very health concious at all. The majority of them were smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day, and drinking a lot more alcohol than Americans do today. Mcdonald's was also huge in the 60's and 70's. People ate it like crazy. The difference? It's not the same mcdonalds. They fried the french fries and other food in beef tallow back then instead of whatever weird lab created vegetable oil that they use now.

But the timeline really makes sense in the grand scheme of things. We started using bioengineering in food in the early 80s, and it really took off in the 90's and beyond. Which is the exact timeline of when obesity rates started to skyrocket in this country. One of the arguments against GMO is that your body doesn't fully recognize it as food and doesn't process it the same way that it does with natural food, which causes you to eat more of it as the body is trying to get something that's not found in the food you are eating, so you don't feel satisfied and it causes you to overeat.

The fact that most of Europe has banned bioengineered ingredients in their foods should really tell you something as well. It's something that should be looked into very hard. But since the reason they started using these ingredients in the first place was to cut costs and increase profits, banning bioengineered ingredients will likely increase costs of food though. Which is already really expensive. But I think it's a price that might be worth paying to save the health of our children and our country.
